Elyon Family Clinic & Surgery in Singapore has unveiled two new STD testing packages, the STI7 Multiplex Panel and the Genital Ulcer Assay, to enhance early detection and clinical outcomes in sexual health.
This initiative responds to increasing awareness of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and shifting infection patterns in Singapore and Asia. The STI7 Multiplex Panel offers simultaneous testing for seven common and emerging STIs, including chlamydia and gonorrhoea, in a single lab-based analysis. Meanwhile, the Genital Ulcer Assay targets pathogens causing ulcerative STDs like syphilis and herpes.
The introduction of these packages is significant as regional medical reports highlight a rise in infections such as Mycoplasma genitalium and Hepatitis C virus, which often present with minimal or no symptoms, complicating diagnosis through traditional methods. Elyon Family Clinic, led by Dr Vincent Chia, a Harvard-trained Family Physician with over 25 years of experience, aims to provide accessible and confidential STD screening options. The clinic’s services include consultations, treatment, and preventive care, reinforcing its commitment to comprehensive sexual health offerings.
These new testing options bolster Elyon Family Clinic’s capacity to address diverse sexual health needs in Singapore, ensuring timely diagnosis and management. The clinic continues to uphold its reputation for professionalism, discretion, and evidence-based care, further solidifying its role in the local healthcare landscape.
